This open-top masterpiece mirrors the groundbreaking design, engineering, and technological achievements that define the latest evolution of Aston Martin’s renowned sports cars.
Envisioned alongside the DB12 Coupe, the Volante exudes the same revolutionary spirit that sets this new generation of Aston Martin sports cars apart. The meticulously crafted 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8 engine drives the DB12 Volante to new heights of potency, boasting a staggering 680PS/671bhp at 6000rpm and an impressive torque of 800Nm/590lb ft between 2750-6000rpm. With enhanced cam profiles, optimized compression ratios, enlarged turbos, and improved cooling, this hand-built marvel achieves a remarkable 34% increase in output compared to its predecessor, the DB11.
The DB12 Volante’s prowess is strikingly showcased in its acceleration, sprinting from 0-60mph in a mere 3.6 seconds or 0-62mph in 3.7 seconds, culminating in a breathtaking top speed of 202mph. Channeling this immense power is a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, thoughtfully tailored to each dynamic driving mode, thus ensuring a seamless blend of performance and control. The electrifying experience of the DB12 Volante is further heightened by the Electronic Rear Differential (E-Diff) and a precisely calibrated ESC system, which provides five pre-defined dynamic modes.
Furthermore, the DB12 Volante sets new standards in ride comfort and handling with its intelligent adaptive dampers, offering an unprecedented 500% increase in force distribution bandwidth compared to its predecessors. These advancements, coupled with meticulous attention to detail, give the DB12 Volante a dynamic range and character that outshine its class competitors.
As production is set to commence in the third quarter of 2023, enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike can look forward to the first deliveries of the DB12 Volante during the fourth quarter of the same year. This newest addition to Aston Martin’s legacy promises to redefine the very essence of open-top super touring, embodying the brand’s relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.
